Ken Brewer loved life, perfected his own art of right living, and graciously accepted his role and responsibility as earth's caretaker. In his poetic Bestiary, we see his metaphorical alter-ego, the joyous spokesman for and champion of the earth and the earth's have-nots. The voice of these poems is a radical departure from Dr. Kenneth Brewer, Poet Laureate of Utah, scholar and archetypal gentleman. Here we have Ken-of-the-earth, Old Mongrel, keen-nosed, sharp-eyed, quick-witted and on point. These poems are as refreshing as a face-slap of cold water on a crisp morning.
